Babel is the boldest indictment of the evils of English academia I've read to date. That's what I was waiting for, though, through The Secret History, If We Were Villains, The Atlas Six, and even Legendborn: violence.
Book Review | Children of Blood and Bone
In my case, this book fell victim to too much hype. Few books have I felt so guaranteed to like; fewer still have lived up to that kind of expectation. While I like each of the elements of this novel in principle, the execution stumbles enough that the concept itself doesn't quite save it. I would still recommend this to genuine young adult readers who love adventure and fantasy.
October TBR
I'm reading a lot for school this month but hopefully I have time for some fun ones. I'm almost done with Children of Blood and Bone, so get ready for that review...
September Wrap Up | 4 Good Books & Many DNFs
Two standout books met a slowdown in motivation for me to read...
September TBR
The Last Magician is a DNF. Maybe I'm just not in a place where I'm not looking to read fantasy, but I think the real reason is it just wasn't offering anything new or interesting. More TBR for this month!
August Wrap Up | 8 Books
Should I be making tiktok wrap-ups instead? In August, I started and I just didn't stop...
June Wrap Up | 5 Books
EXCELLENT books in July, and some that I'll remember for a long, long time...
August TBR
This TBR is still really exciting for me. I really plugged through a lot of the ones on my list last month, so here's hoping this month's are just as gratifying! I'm still reading The Last Magician, because although it hasn't been my cup of tea so far, I feel like if I just make it far enough I'll find something to like.

Book Review | The Shadow of the Gods
I am so excited about this new fantasy world from John Gwynne. It is everything comforting and familiar and yet somehow so hard to achieve that we look for in fantasy. And the audiobook performance is stunning.
